Anyone got different tyre brands front & rear?
Discussion
Having just purchased a nice set of 17 inch RL-7s I am looking for a pair of rear tyres.
Fronts are Bridgestone S02 and are hardly worn.
Rears are same make but slick on inside edge and 2.5mm over the rest of the tyre.
Thinking of fitting a rear pair of Toyos.
Can anyone see any problem with running rear Toyos and front Bridgestones (or have any other recommended brands)??
Are Toyos better than Bridgestones - grip, wear and ride comfort??
Any advice gratefully received.
(edited for plug: set of original 16 inch wheels and very good S02 tyres available for sale shortly - trackdays?)

No idea, but I don't see why you can't put Toyo's on the back.
I've got a set of Toyo's on my 16's at the moment and very happy with them. I've also got a set of 17's in the garage with SO2's on the rear and Toyo's on the front, I think, or maybe it's the other way around.
When they run out I'll be putting Toyo all round.

Through a lot of thrashing and testing... (IME)
Bridgestone S03 PP's on Rear (nothing else!)
and front:
Either Goodyear Eagle GDS3 or a pair of the new Vredstein Ultracs.
After driving with this combination, I can honestly say, I will never return to Toyo's or go all Bridgestones....
But this is my experience... I'm sure others have their own views, really depends on how you drive your beast...

In theory, no problem running different tyres on the front and back at all - different makes/models have different characteristics, some of which are good, some of which aren't. I quite liked Proxes all round on the Cerb for road driving; good for the money if not supreme in dry grip/predictability.
